[Hissyspit]

Tonight's (Feb. 14) Commentary:

"You, by your own terms and your own definitions, you have just sided with the terrorists. You gotta have this law or we are all going to die. But practically speaking, you vetoed the law. It's bad enough, sir, that you were demanding an ex post facto law which could still clear the AT&Ts and the Verizons from responsibility for their systematic, aggressive and blatant collaboration with your illegal and unjustified spying on Americans under the flimsy guise of looking for any terrorists who might be stupid enough to make a collect call or send a mass email. But when you demanded it again in the State of the Union address, you wouldn't even confirm that they had actually done anything for which they deserved to be cleared. '...that Congress must pass liability protection for companies believed to have assisted in the protection of America.' Believed. Don't you know?"

"Does this endless presidency of loopholes and even fine print even extend here too? If you believe in the seamless mutuality of government and big business, come out and say it. There is a dictionary definition. One word that describes that toxic blend - you're a fascist! Get them to print you a T-shirt with the fascist on it."

"You said that the lives of countless Americans depend on you getting your way. This is crap. And you sling it with an audacity and a speed unrivaled even by the greatest political felons of our history."

QUOTES RICHARD CLARKE: "'Let me be clear... All surveillance currently occurring would continue even after legislative provisions lapsed...' You are a liar, Mr. Bush, and after showing some skill at it initially, you have ceased to even be a very good liar, and your minions, like John Boehner, your Republican Congressional crash dummies, who just happened to decide to walk out of Congress when a podium full of microphones awaited them. They should just keep walking, out of Congress..."

"A lot of you are the symbolic descendents of the despotic middle managers of some banana republic, to whom freedom is an ironic brand name, a word you reach for when you want to get away with its opposite. Thus, Mr. Bush, your panoramic invasion of privacy is dressed up as protecting America... thus, Mr. Bush, what you and the telecom giants isn't unlawful, it's just the kind of perfectly legal, passionately patriotic thing for which you happen to need immunity!"

1. Um, This is the CORRECT Special Comment from tonight, everyone, I promise!

[jkshaw]

4. It was great, Hissyspit.

Incendiary. When he said "fascist!" we both gasped. It was a terrifically courageous outburst for Keith Olbermann. He instilled that word with all the outrage and disgust that 70% of Americans feel. Olbermann is a national treasure.

[Lint Head]

2. KO said, fascist, liar . He basically said Bush and Cheney committed

treason and that they are traitors. I've been saying that ever since I've been on DU long before I ever heard of Keith. I love KO don't get me wrong. It's time to kick the criminals out of the White House now. Then hold a democratic election to restore the Constitution and uphold the laws that we already have as opposed to passing mores laws that mean nothing to the people of this country except more oppression by fascists!.:dem:

[Muttocracy]

3. "simple enough even for you to understand" right on!

:wow: :woohoo:
"Get them to print you a T-shirt with "fascist" on it!"

"You have ceased to even be a good liar!"

[Synnical]

5. Fascist, Liar, Liar, Liar

Don't recall every seeing KO so passionate. That rocked!

[thunder rising]

6. I cannot believe that but a few years ago MSNBC would have suffered a power outage to stop this.

Then the FCC would have stepped in.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

7. K&R a 5th vote 4U

[Muttocracy]

8. I hope KO has good bodyguards nt

[Postman]

9. Excellent "Special Comment". 100 % on the money....

Bush IS a fascist.

And Keith's description of the likes of John Boehner is beautiful..."Republican Congressional Crash Dummies"........I love it.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. KO went one further than calling the Frat Boy a Fascist

He called him a terrorist.

[backscatter712]

11. Most excellent! Thank you!

[jwirr]

12. I cannot even begin to understand how much courage it must take

to say these truths on the air. I hope he stays safe.

[myrna minx]

13. Yet another damn fine special comment. Thank you Mr. Olbermann. n/t

[fascisthunter]

14. It's about Time Someone in the MSM Called Bush Out! (nt)

[Iwillnevergiveup]

15. That was no special comment....

that was a wondrous valentine! KO was practically spitting at the camera. I'm happy that even though Richard Lewis is a poor, neurotic nut, he paid some well-deserved kudos to Keith. And mentioned that instead of being hooked on alcohol or cocaine, Bush should get hooked on phonics!

24. His Comments Get Better All of The Time

Each and every time I hear one of his special comments I get the chills. We finally have a voice speaking for us that actually gets TV coverage.

[IcyPeas]

25. It was a "WOW" special comment indeed

it's just sad that he's preaching to the choir. the msm never seems to mention bush's foibles.
